Not too sure:

Quote - Q: How does Super Buy Software sell software at such low prices?
A: We purchase software from various venues. Such places include: overstock, auctions, closeouts, and companies going out of business. We pass on the savings to you. We are able to sell at such low prices because we sell only OEM software. Therefore this software does not qualify for tech support or registration with the manufacturer, however it will download all updates from the product manufacturer. All titles are full versions and brand new. We work hard to bring our customers the best value, and our prices are truly super buys and rock bottom prices.

Q: Is your software pirated or illegal?
A: No, we are a legitimate business selling only legal software. All Software is brand new and still in a factory seal. All software has a serial number and can receive downloads and be upgraded. There is no retail box or manual included. Just a new sealed CD. Again, we sell only new and authentic, full version software. You understand that you are buying OEM software. All titles are full versions, but will not register for tech support or with the manufacturer.

Q: What exactly is OEM software?
A: OEM generally means "original equipment manufacturer." Sometimes it is referred to as "open-ended market" or "bulk-pack," "white box," "brown box," and "bundled." Almost all software vendors make two versions of the same product. One is the retail boxed products sold mainly through retailers. The second one is the OEM products which are sold mainly to system builders, such as Compaq and Dell (the OEMs). These bulk-pack products do not have fancy packaging and are produced in much higher volume.

Q: Is it legal to sell OEM / CD Only software?
A: Many of the software companies would like you to believe the answer is NO and often attempt to scare customers by placing text on the CD that says, for example; For distribution with a new PC only or something to that effect, but rest assured it is in fact legal to purchase OEM software. The truth is that the First Sale Doctrine protects our right, as well as yours to sell OEM / CD Only software.

So it seems that site sells the CD's that were sold to computer tech companies who build computers, and these techs and companies have "gone out of business" and sold their CD's to this company for resale. Which does seem legit. Message edited on: 07/31/2005 16:17

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
